Canoe North Adventures Outfitting Centre

Let your adventure begin …

The Canoe North Adventures Outfitting Centre has been built by canoe-trippers for canoe-trippers whether they are Canoe North clients or self-guided clients. Strategically located at the North-Wright Air Float Base in Norman Wells, NWT, the Outfitting Centre is a launching and finishing point for all wilderness trips in the greater Sahtu region. The handsome timber-frame and log structure is a meeting place to assemble your group, change into tripping clothes, organize fresh-food orders & final gear packing. An adjacent accessory building warehouses an impressive assortment of professional tripping gear available to rent by the day or week. Knowledgeable staff are available to assist you every step of the way as you embark on your adventure of a lifetime. Canoe North has extensive knowledge of paddling the pristine rivers of the Mackenzie Mountains and we are proud of our impeccable safety record and “best practices” philosophy. We offer consultation services where we review maps and trip notes with self-guided groups detailing strategies for safe river travel, campsite & hiking areas and points of interest. Detailed logistical planning is a hallmark of Canoe North’s wilderness legacy.

The comfortable and extensive amenities we offer are designed specifically to assist your last minute trip preparations and to celebrate your adventure upon your return. We have two vehicles available for local transportation to and from the airport and town centre. Our picturesque location at the North-Wright Float Base places your group just yards away from the docks for the Twin Otter & Pilatus Porter Aircraft. Our full-service kitchen is available for coffee, snacks, breakfast, lunch or barbecue dinner. Two full bathrooms are available for post-trip showers, our comfortable lounge is perfect for relaxing and our wrap-around deck offers a fantastic view of Hammar Mountain & the Franklin Range. Other amenities include laundry & storage facilities, freezer storage, flat-screen satellite TV, high-speed internet and computer, telephone, games, fine art and an extensive resource and interpretive library of river maps, DVD’s and books pertaining to all things wilderness.
